Jai Shri Anna !!!

Tamarind though sour, is used to clean vessels. No other item which is bitter,sweet, hot or salty is used to clean vessels. Similarly, though we are not able to believe the happenings found in Puranas, they give us a true clean soul. Other worldly books will not give us a clean soul, like other tastes which are not useful to clean.

Puranas are like sweet pastry (kolukattai). The truth is like the sweetened dish inside.

Adding this photo. That Krishnan in the cradle is my dear kitta. He was named as "Krishna Nandhalala" by Anna. Thought this is a nice snap to share.

This is the first time i am putting a photo of SriSriAnna in the blog site. All other members can also add interesting photos to the blog site.

There is no need to think over what all are interpolations in Puranas. If we mix sesame seeds and rice grains together, it is not difficult to identify the sesame seeds. All the stories where there is a degrade in the auspicious qualities of God, are all interpolations.

One talking about physics research in a college will prove his research using many beautiful examples. Similarly the Puranas explain the Truth of God by means of many stories.

Hi All

Radhe Krishna!!! I'm a new member to this blog group. I thought I would share my thoughts on the Uthsavam details put up in Anna's Site.

I saw the Dwajarohanam , Nandhothsavam details in the site. I was not able to attend the uthsavam but felt really happy and as if for a few moments I was in Paranur for the uthsavam. The details were explained in such a nice manner and the photos were very beautiful...

I was really upset that I miseed the wonderful Nandhothsavam Anna played in Paranur. Wow what Photos... Seeing that we would never say that we haven't seen Krishna...

I'm also looking forward for more posts about the other uthsavams.

Thanks for taking people over to Paranur and showing us the Uthsavam...

Radhe Krishna!!! Premikendra Sadgurunath Maharaj Ki , Jai!!!

Since the sea water is salty it cannot be used. The clouds draw the same water and pour in the form of rain. This water is not salty. Similarly Devotees like Thukaram have sung the Puranas after cleansing them. The Correct explanations to Puranaas are songs of devotees. Since there are many Insertions in Puranaas it is difficult to understand them.

We pour sugar in a big box and store it safely, similarly Many Truths are kept in Puranas. Without the box the sugar will get spoiled, similarly without the Puranaas the Truth cannot be spread.

Initially a river starts from a mountain. After that sewage gets mixed with it . Similarly all the Puranaas initially came very pure from sages. But Pournikas who came after that added many irrelevant stories to the Puranas and spoiled them. So the proof of Puranaas will not show us God.

People having read a book 'About Russia' will be speaking as if they know very well about Russia. They will know about Russia only as far as the book teaches them. But those who have gone in person to Russia know very well about Russia. Similarly people boast they know about God after studying the Puranas. Only those who have experienced God in person will know his True Glory.

One selling a Beetle leaf, will keep spoiled leaves in between good leaves and sell them together. Similarly many irrelevant stories got inserted again and again in Puranas and Preached in the world. We have to avoid them and read only those that give peace to the mind.

There are also Over riped fruits in a tree. But you will eat only the good fruits. Similarly if there are some irrelevant stories in Puranas , you set them aside and learn only the good stories.

The SignPost will only show us the way but will not come along with us. Similarly Education will only show us the way to God but will not accompany us.

We need to pluck only the flower from the Rose Plant. There is no need to pluck the thorns. Similarly whatever be the scriptures you read, take out only the essence and leave out the rest.

Radhe Krishna,

SriSriAnna was in Paranur today for Ekadesi. It is also heard that he will stay in Paranur till the Avani Avittam function which falls on coming friday.
